Hello my friends! So out of pure compulsive writing spirit I whipped this up and seeing as I haven't posted anything on wattpad for over a year I figured, what the heck! I'm not entirely sure of where this came from or what exactly it is, but take from it what you will. If it's a metaphor, sure it's a metaphor. If it's a love story, sure, it's a love story!
So here ya go!
Enjoy!
Olivia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I knew you.
I’ve known you all along.
You’ve always been there, whether I knew it or not.
I heard the sign of your presence long long ago.
An old woman told me once.
Never travel alone.
But I didn't listen.
And so the next time she saw me, I was injured and ill.
Not physically but mentally.
For loneliness had broken me.
And though I made friendships all through my travels,
Never did I stay long enough to let them bloom.
All hearts need love and care.
I didn’t have it.
So that old woman said to me,
“Una, you must find a friend. A friend who is willing to join you to the ends of the worlds.”
So my patchwork heart and I left in search of a friend.
I found you.
By chance of stars I found you.
Or you found me.
Both of us lost, then found.
Both distraught and lonely.
Both under the cover of trees.
You didn’t know me and I you.
For we were from different worlds of the same nature.
I didn’t think much about it when I offered to bring you away from you dull lands.
I just knew that you were it.
It.
And I’m sure you didn’t think much when you accepted.
You just knew that I was what you’d been waiting for.
You told me so.
You were so confused, yet so accepting of everything I did.
All you saw was strange.
All you heard was new.
A hatchling learning who he was.
You learned fast.
Before long we were the unstoppable pair.
Adventures ahoy and mystery beyond.
I fight with you at my side.
Never to leave.
Please don’t leave.
I know you won’t.
I hope you won’t.
You have a new place in my patchwork heart.
All to yourself.
I love you dearly.
You love me.
Though we have never acted on it, or spoken it’s certainty.
We have no need to.
For we both know it’s there.
That’s all that matters.
Our love may be the end of us.
Or it may be the beginning.
But as long as we stay together we will be safe.
As long as we never travel alone.
We are each other’s protectors.
We are each other’s souls.
Bonded through trust and friendship.
Nothing can break us.
No monster we meet.
Nor warlock or curse.
We will dance hand in hand through the life we have chosen.
Life of adventure in bizarre worlds.
Remembering never to travel alone.
